If you google "Fender Fever reviews" you'll get some feedback. I emailed them/him about something a while back and didn't like his tone so I left it.

Grainger make really nice stuff! Is it bolt-on or neck-through?

I don't think they've been released yet. Im keeping an eye out, there was a little bit of discussion in the Ashdown ABM thread. They look great, seem to sound good and have some very useful features over an ABM.

Not to clutter the ABM thread too much with this but I am sold tbh. I currently just have an ABM 410 that I run a GenzBenz through, would love an ABM head but i'd miss a lot of the things the GB can do with regards to home playing, quiet practice etc. The new RM feels like a great option for me wanting to scratch the Ashdown itch!

The new RM looks great! Always though the previous ones looked fugly. Cab sim is a great addition. The previous RMs had a headphone jack? Hopefully this is the same and would make for a great head for home and gigging...

An incredibly bland one at that, EBMM have lost the plot on pricing.

Looks absolutely amazing. A gamechanger imo, would love to try one.

I've never played a H model Musicman but I can highly recommend going for a HH. My main bass is a Sterling USA 4HH and every position on the 5 way switch is very usable - add in the 3 band EQ and it's fit for pretty much any sound. Can get very close to a J or a P imo (purists may disagree) The 4HH is rare as hen's teeth nowadays, I've been hoping to pick up another and haven't found anything in many months. Calling their budget range "Sterling" is a crazy shout.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, i've been checking them out. I think closed-back are going to be the most suitable for my current set-up although it does seem that some folk run a pair of them AND a pair of open-back depending... I've got stretched ear lobes so I reckon on-ears won't sit great or maybe even get a bit uncomfortable. The DT770s keep cropping up, they're priced well too so im gonna give them a spin, courtesy of Santa. Might even venture into trying a set of open-back in the future... Cheers!

Found myself going down the rabbit hole here, looking for some thoughts and advice. Currently using an Ampeg SGT-DI for headphone practice regularly and I'm finding my current headphones to be lacking a bit - they're Audio Technica ATH-M20x, which are fairly entry-level at £50. They seem to distort quite easily and bass response is poor, if I EQ more in they tend to get "mushy". They aren't very comfortable for long periods either. Could my distortion problem be due to using active basses? I've got a Musicman Sterling and Fender Jazz with a J-Retro, if that's the case then I need a pair that can handle a hotter signal. Audio-Technica ATH-M50x seem to come up often but I'm a bit put off after using the lesser model. Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro also seem to be popular. Budget of around £200, maybe a bit more, i'm sure I can pick up a nice upgrade for that?

Bought an OC5 from Danny - spot on to deal with, no dramas at all.

Love a good refurb! I know nothing about these amps but it's cleaned up really well - hope it works 😂
